A 19-year-old Australian arrives in 1987 Soho and builds a life through the AIDS crisis, in a play inspired by the life of David Stuart.

The story
Rich Watkins's play follows David from his arrival in London in 1987 into Soho's LGBTQ+ community, where he finds work, friendship and a chosen family as he rises through the city's escort industry. Across nearly twenty years it charts his bonds with Patti, Steven and Andy, and his survival through illness, grief, drugs and money.
In the room
A 75-minute drama with no interval that mixes humour and heartbreak, set against the AIDS epidemic.
Good fit if you like
